-	The third lesson is from the gospel	0:15
	according to Saint Luke, chapter 12	0:17
	and verses 32 through 40.	0:20
	The holy gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ,	0:24
	as it is recorded in the gospel according	0:27
	to Saint Luke, Chapter 12, in verses 32 to 40.	0:28
	Listen now for this portion of God's word.	0:32
	Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father's	0:36
	good pleasure to give you the kingdom.	0:40
	Sell your possessions, and give alms.	0:43
	Make purses for yourself that do not wear out.	0:47
	An unfailing treasure in heaven,	0:50
	where no thief comes near, and no moth destroys.	0:52
	For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.	0:57
	Be dressed for action, and have your lamps lit.	1:02
	Be like those who are waiting for their master	1:07
	to return from the wedding banquet,	1:09
	so that they may open the door for him	1:11
	as soon as he comes and knocks.	1:13
	Blessed are those slaves whom the master	1:16
	finds alert when he comes.	1:19
	Truly I tell you, he will fasten his belt	1:21
	and have them sit down to eat,	1:24
	and he will come and serve them.	1:27
	If he comes during the middle of the night,	1:30
	or near dawn, and finds them, so blessed are those slaves.	1:32
	But know this, if the owner of the house	1:38
	had known at what hour the thief was coming,	1:41
	he would not have left his house and let it be broken into.	1:44
	You also must be ready.	1:49
	For the son of man is coming at an unexpected hour.	1:52
	This is the word of the Lord.	2:01
	(congregation murmurs)
	Let us pray.	2:06
	Come now Holy Spirit, with all of your quickening power.	2:10
	Grant us ears that we might hear spiritual truths,	2:14
	and be empowered to walk into them.	2:17
	Amen.	2:20
	Our gospel lection for today falls hot on the heels	2:23
	of the parable of the rich fool.	2:28
	And Jesus' discussion with the disciples about	2:31
	all the things which consume us.	2:34
	All of those things which seem so important to us.	2:37
	On last Sunday, we were reminded of the foolishness	2:42
	of our own desire, and how we are caught up in an endless	2:45
	cycle of consumption and desires that lead us to a depth	2:49
	of longing that God alone can satisfy.	2:54
	But don't take will too seriously.	2:59
	It was just more of his foolishness.	3:01
	So this morning, in the splendor and majesty of this place,	3:06
	I want for us to reflect on matters	3:10
	that are not quite so weighty, lighthearted matters.	3:13
	Pardon my indelicate curiosity, chalk it up to my age	3:18
	and newness here, you know, too young	3:22
	to know any better, too new to care.	3:24
	But allow me to ask a question.	3:28
	What are you living for?	3:33
	What matters most to you?	3:36
	What do you treasure?	3:39
	I'm living for my family and for their future, says one.	3:43
	I don't know, says another, I just want to be happy.	3:48
	I want some meaning and fulfillment in my life.	3:51
	A third says, life's too short,	3:55
	you've got to go for the gusto.	3:58
	So which will it be?	4:01
	A career or a family?	4:04
	The additional degree, or the marriage?	4:07
	The winter home, or the summer place in the Hamptons?	4:11
	What do you mean which will it be?	4:16
	We want it all!	4:18
	And so with that, the rat race begins,	4:20
	and we run and run, and run, until at last,	4:23
	we fall exhausted, wearied and worn	4:27
	of our own foolishness.	4:32
	We are those who have a love	4:36
	and passion for things intellectual.	4:37
	We plan strategically and create	4:41
	initiatives for waters yet uncharted.	4:44
	We watch for and analyze trends	4:47
	and patterns of things to come,	4:50
	yet fail to comprehend that our very lives	4:53
	are being poured out before us, and lived in the presence,	4:57
	care and eternal keeping of almighty God.	5:02
	Yet we live as if that reality doesn't matter at all.	5:07
	You and I just can't help it, we're good, honest,	5:14
	hard-working people who spend two thirds of our waking	5:17
	hours making a living, but not having a life.	5:21
	Don't we live as though our lives	5:27
	were dependent upon ourselves?	5:29
	We, who love to boast of self-reliance,	5:31
	of pulling ourselves up by our own bootstraps.	5:34
	We who love to lay claim to the Protestant work ethic	5:38
	stand in polar opposition to a gracious God	5:42
	who says to us cast your cares upon me,	5:47
	for I care for thee.	5:51
	It's just the American way, and therefore the Christian	5:55
	way of life to worry about all of that stuff.	5:58
	So again I ask,	6:04
	what are you living for?	6:06
	Are you living for the kingdom of God?	6:09
	Or are you living as if the kingdom doesn't matter at all?	6:11
	If you are wearied by the endless rat race,	6:18
	and you would like to walk away from the endless maze,	6:21
	then hear the good news.	6:24
	We are free to live as a people of the promise.	6:27
	Hear the word of exhortation from the gospel.	6:30
	Fear not, our lives do not rest	6:34
	upon so precarious a foundation.	6:37
	Self-reliance is not a prerequisite for discipleship.	6:41
	You need not worry about your life,	6:45
	what you shall eat or drink or wear.	6:48
	Do not be afraid, little flock.	6:54
	For it is your father's good	6:57
	pleasure to give you the kingdom.	6:58
	Not just the things of the earth,	7:02
	but the full measure of salvation and creation itself.	7:04
	Of course, you know what the trouble	7:09
	is with all of this, don't you?	7:11
	The gospel doesn't sound like good news to us,	7:13
	when we've spent all of our energy and being	7:17
	striving after all that life has to offer,	7:20
	we are confronted with the good news of the gospel.	7:23
	Sell your possessions, and give alms.	7:27
	Make purses for yourself that do not wear out,	7:31
	an unfailing treasure in heaven	7:34
	where no thief comes near, and no moth destroys.	7:36
	For where your treasure is,	7:42
	there your heart will be also.	7:45
	You call that good news?	7:48
	For people who can't get enough, it feels more	7:51
	like an iron fist in a velvet glove.	7:56
	The good news is that not only do we not have	8:01
	to run the rat race,	8:04
	we don't even have to enter the maze.	8:06
	Do not keep striving for what you are to eat,	8:12
	what you are to drink, and do not keep worrying.	8:15
	For it is nations of the world that strive	8:20
	after all these things, Luke says earlier in his gospel,	8:22
	for your Father knows that you need them.	8:26
	Strive for his kingdom, and these things	8:30
	will be given to you as well.	8:33
	And since these are not matters that matter,	8:38
	is there something worthy of our lives'	8:43
	devotion and attention?	8:45
	There is this urgent word in the gospel for today.	8:48
	It is a word to a church which has become	8:52
	both custodian and companion of the status quo.	8:54
	It is a word to a church who speaks	8:59
	elegantly of ethics and ethos,	9:01
	but finds itself embarrassingly esoteric	9:04
	when engaging in things essential and eternal.	9:07
	Luke's word is prepare.	9:12
	Prepare.	9:17
	Be vigilant, keep watch, for the Son of Man	9:19
	is coming at an unexpected hour.	9:22
	This is a matter that matters.	9:25
	This word first reminds us that we are to be prepared.	9:29
	What kind of preparation do we demonstrate	9:34
	on a spiritual plain for the coming of the Son of Man?	9:36
	The nation of Israel's entire history	9:41
	was for the purpose of being ready for the Messiah's	9:43
	initiating of the kingdom of God.	9:46
	Yet the people of Israel failed to recognize him.	9:49
	They were not prepared.	9:53
	Abraham in the epistle lesson is exalted	9:56
	as a model of faith, for he set out confidently in faith,	9:58
	not knowing where he was going,	10:02
	but certain that his journey of faith	10:05
	would lead him to a heavenly country.	10:07
	Abraham understood that which mattered most	10:10
	was not care for the human needs,	10:13
	but rather matters of the human heart.	10:16
	He was prepared and responded when the call of God came.	10:20
	What is this business about being dressed for action,	10:26
	of having your lamps lit, of being like those	10:30
	who are waiting for their master to return	10:33
	from the wedding banquet so that they may open	10:35
	the door for him as soon as he comes and knock all about?	10:37
	It is about being prepared.	10:42
	In the Palestinian culture of Jesus' day,	10:46
	the role of the bridesmaid was simply to be ready	10:49
	for the coming of the bridegroom.	10:52
	Whenever he arrived, the bridesmaid would quickly move	10:54
	into the procession to escort the bride	10:57
	and groom to the wedding festivities.	10:59
	These festivities might last an entire week.	11:02
	There would be feasting and dancing and singing.	11:06
	It was the highlight of the social life in Palestine.	11:10
	No one wanted to miss it.	11:14
	There was no specific time at which	11:16
	the bridegroom would come.	11:18
	The bridesmaid simply had to prepare	11:20
	for his coming at any moment.	11:22
	Notice the irony in the text.	11:25
	For their faithfulness in preparing themselves,	11:29
	the entire order of the day gets turned inside out.	11:31
	At the return of the master, it is the slave	11:36
	who is exalted to the position of host.	11:39
	Who is served by the master.	11:42
	This is good news to those of lowly estate.	11:45
	Those who are invisible in our society,	11:49
	to incoming first year students even,	11:51
	you have a place of honor at the table.	11:55
	In the words of our choir, children, don't get weary	11:59
	till your work is done, Christian journey soon be over.	12:04
	The time is drawing nigh.	12:09
	One of my most vivid memories of my experience	12:14
	as a Boy Scout was when our Troop 119	12:17
	went on a camping trip to Camp Barstow.	12:20
	We were nearing the time for the Boy Scout Jamboree,	12:23
	and our troop wanted to have some	12:26
	unique display for the event.	12:28
	A number of the scouts in the troop decided	12:31
	we should do a wildlife exhibit.	12:32
	We wanted to be able to describe	12:35
	how certain animals lived in the wild,	12:36
	what their habits were, and what they ate.	12:39
	It was our plan to capture a few creatures from the woods	12:42
	and display them at the Jamboree, and later turn them loose.	12:45
	And while on the camping trip, we hunted for wildlife.	12:50
	We were successful in finding a turtle and a lizard,	12:53
	a chipmunk, but I wanted to find a snake.	12:56
	Now when you're a Boy Scout, there's something	13:01
	kind of exciting about snakes.	13:02
	There's the danger of them, and they cause mothers	13:04
	and sisters to shiver in delight.	13:07
	Boys like that, you know.	13:10
	Our troop scoured the woods for a couple of hours.	13:14
	Then all of a sudden, several of us saw one	13:16
	slithering across some rocks in our path.	13:19
	This was my big opportunity.	13:22
	I had seen on television how one could grab a snake	13:25
	behind its head and hold it securely	13:28
	in one's hand and be in no danger.	13:31
	I was prepared to go into action, or so I thought.	13:36
	We recognized that this was a black snake,	13:40
	and I sneaked up behind him, ready to put into practice	13:42
	the techniques that I had learned on television.	13:46
	I grabbed him near his head.	13:49
	I thought he was mine.	13:51
	However, this clever little rascal	13:55
	slithered through my grip,	13:57
	turned its head, and bit me on the back of my hand.	13:58
	This was not the way it was supposed to happen.	14:02
	The man on television hadn't gotten bitten.	14:06
	In my fear and surprise, I threw the snake down.	14:10
	Actually, I think I cursed him too.	14:14
	God may have cursed him first,	14:16
	but I think I cursed him best.	14:18
	(audience laughs)
	Not surprisingly, he got away, and we had	14:23
	no black snake at the Jamboree that year.	14:26
	Now I was not hurt from the snake bite.	14:29
	Although my pride was bruised.	14:31
	You see, the motto of a Boy Scout is be prepared.	14:33
	The truth is, I was not prepared.	14:38
	I should have used a snare to hold the snake,	14:42
	and brought along a bag to put him in.	14:44
	I had not made adequate preparation,	14:46
	and so I lost my big opportunity,	14:49
	and was a failure at my first and last occasion	14:51
	to be a member of the snake-handling church.	14:54
	(audience laughs)	14:57
	A Boy Scout is prepared.	15:02
	He is prepared by acquiring knowledge from the experiences	15:05
	of woods that will prepare him to handle	15:09
	a particular situation when it really counted.	15:11
	So too it must be for us.	15:15
	A Christian's duty is to live one's entire life	15:18
	prepared to give an accounting to Christ.	15:21
	It is both doing and being.	15:24
	Finally, Luke's gospel also speaks	15:29
	to us about remaining expectant.	15:31
	Are you expectant that the Son of Man will come?	15:35
	Is preparing for the coming of the Son of Man	15:38
	a way of life for you, or are you living	15:41
	as if today were the first day in the kingdom?	15:44
	Ask any child in Duke Chapel this morning	15:49
	about when his or her birthday is coming.	15:51
	A child who knows his birthday	15:54
	is near is exceedingly expectant.	15:56
	There is the assurance that soon his	15:59
	or her special day will arrive.	16:01
	There will be gifts and celebration, cake and ice cream.	16:03
	The prisoner of war who remains confident	16:08
	that his country is making every effort	16:10
	to secure his release is expectant.	16:12
	Anticipating his ultimate freedom,	16:16
	certain that that day will come.	16:18
	Even though we are not sure of the hour	16:22
	of the coming of the Son of Man,	16:25
	rest assured the hour will come.	16:27
	Perhaps Jesus is saying to us through this word	16:30
	that God's kingdom is sure.	16:33
	No one knows the day or the hour	16:36
	of the fulfillment of the kingdom,	16:38
	but just as surely as day follows night,	16:40
	the kingdom will come.	16:44
	Therefore, we should live with that kind of expectancy,	16:47
	confident that the will of God will ultimately prevail.	16:50
	Do we watch as diligently for the unexpected hour	16:55
	of the coming of the Son of Man as we do the rise	16:59
	and fall of Wall Street's market?	17:02
	Do we hang on every word of the kingdom's founder	17:05
	as we do on the words of Alan Greenspan?	17:08
	You and I resolve to be alert to God's presence.	17:13
	And then sleep through the challenges set before us.	17:18
	One day, a boy was watching a holy man praying	17:24
	on the banks of the river in India.	17:27
	When the holy man completed his prayer,	17:29
	the boy went over and asked him,	17:32
	will you teach me to pray?	17:36
	The holy man studied the boy's face carefully.	17:38
	Then he gripped the boy's head in his hands,	17:42
	and plunged it forcefully into the water.	17:44
	The boy struggled frantically,	17:48
	trying to free himself in order to breathe.	17:50
	Finally, the holy man released his hold,	17:54
	and when the boy was able to get his breath,	17:56
	he gasped, "What did you do that for?"	17:58
	The holy man said, "I just gave you your first lesson."	18:03
	"What do you mean," asked the astonished boy.	18:10
	"Well," said the holy man, "When you long to pray	18:13
	"As much as you longed to breathe	18:18
	"When your head was underwater,	18:20
	"Only then will I be able to teach you how to pray."	18:23
	Do we long for the coming of the Son of Man	18:30
	with that sort of passion?	18:33
	Or do we wistfully reflect upon its arrival	18:36
	with a sort of seasoned indifference?	18:38
	A colleague in ministry says that if you really want to know	18:43
	how to prepare for the coming of the Son of Man,	18:46
	take a lesson from a dog.	18:49
	Any good dog listens expectantly for his master's return.	18:52
	And when in his presence,	18:57
	leaps into his arms with reckless abandon.	19:00
	Sons and daughters of God,	19:06
	our task is to live for the matters which truly matter.	19:09
	God help us do no less.	19:16
	Amen.	19:21
	(liturgical organ music)	19:28
	(choral music)	20:15
-	You may be seated.	22:51
	The Lord be with you.	23:02
-	And also with you.
-	Let us pray.	23:05
	God of wisdom and righteousness,	23:10
	we gather in your presence aware of the vastness	23:14
	of your world and of the intimacy of your concern for us.	23:17
	Your love encompasses our largest dreams	23:22
	and our smallest fears.	23:25
	You have sent us forth with a message to proclaim.	23:28
	Give us the courage and the compassion	23:33
	to reach out to our sisters and brothers around the world	23:36
	in love that the gospel might be revealed not only	23:39
	through our words, but through our lives.	23:43
	Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer.	23:47
	Let us pray for all who live in the midst	23:52
	of terror or violence, where innocent lives	23:54
	are sacrificed for political gain.	23:57
	We pray for places where power is abused,	24:01
	and the dispossessed bear the heaviest burdens,	24:03
	where extremes of wealth and poverty are bitterly divisive,	24:06
	where even religion produces enmity	24:10
	rather than reconciliation.	24:12
	Especially we pray for those victims of the recent	24:15
	bombings in Kenya and Tanzania.	24:18
	We thank you for their lives, and ask that in the wake	24:21
	of such unspeakable tragedy, you would grant us a renewed	24:24
	determination to nurture a spirit	24:28
	of forbearance and respect, rather than hatred and distrust	24:31
	among the peoples of the earth.	24:36
	Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.	24:38
	Let us pray for the leaders of the nations,	24:44
	and those whose words and actions	24:46
	will influence events in our world.	24:48
	That they may not tolerate injustice,	24:51
	seek refuge in violence, or make ill-considered decisions	24:53
	about the futures of other people.	24:57
	Grant them the wisdom and the strength	24:59
	to become genuine peacemakers.	25:01
	Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.	25:04
	Let us pray for all who cry out for healing,	25:09
	that you will give patience, courage and faith	25:13
	to all who are disabled by injury or sickness.	25:17
	That you will comfort those who endure continual pain,	25:21
	pouring upon them the healing balm of your Holy Spirit.	25:25
	That you will grant fearless trust in you to all	25:29
	who are stricken with chronic or terminal illness.	25:32
	Console those who are bereaved	25:35
	after the loss of a loved one.	25:37
	Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.	25:40
	Let us pray for all whose increasing years	25:45
	bring them weakness, distress or isolation.	25:47
	Provide for them homes of dignity and peace,	25:51
	give them understanding helpers,	25:54
	and the willingness to accept help.	25:56
	Draw their families closer to them,	25:59
	and deliver faithful friends to their side.	26:01
	And as their strength diminishes,	26:04
	increase their faith and trust in you.	26:06
	Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer.	26:09
	Let us pray for the children of the world,	26:13
	and for their parents, teachers and caretakers.	26:16
	Protect those who have been traumatized.	26:20
	Reassure those who are alone or afraid.	26:23
	Provide for those who are hungry or homeless.	26:27
	Restore to fullness of life those	26:30
	who are fragile or vulnerable in any way.	26:32
	Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer.	26:36
	Let us pray for the ministry of Kenneth Nelson.	26:41
	We offer thanks for the many gifts	26:44
	you have bestowed upon him,	26:46
	and his commitment to serve the church.	26:48
	And pray that you will continue to pour out your grace	26:51
	upon him and all whom he ministers to.	26:53
	Lord, in your mercy.	26:57
	Hear our prayer.	26:59
	Everliving God, as Abraham stepped out with assurance,	27:02
	not knowing where he was to go,	27:05
	may we likewise venture forth by the light of your promise.	27:07
	As Sarah received your promise of a miraculous birth,	27:11
	may we bear within us the hope	27:14
	that in Christ, all things are possible.	27:17
	Keep the lamp of your goodness burning brightly within us,	27:20
	as a sign of our constant desire	27:24
	to welcome the coming of your kingdom.	27:26
	If the candle of our faith has grown dim,	27:29
	trim our wicks and ignite us anew.	27:31
	If our worship is half-hearted, startle us with your grace,	27:35
	that we may regain a heart full of thanksgiving.	27:38

	we have been all too eager in our lives	35:36
	to pay back evil for evil, and slow	35:38
	to pay back your goodness to us.	35:41
	Yet you have summoned us to live by loss, to gain by giving,	35:44
	leaving all as we await the coming of your kingdom.	35:49
	Receive these gifts as an outpouring of our gratitude,	35:52
	as we join in singing praise to your holy name,	35:56
	pure and strong, with all the heavenly chorus.	35:59
	This we pray in the name of Jesus Christ,	36:02
	who taught us to pray with confidence	36:04
	Our Father, who art in heaven,	36:07
	hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come,	36:09
	thy will be done,	36:13
	on earth as it is in heaven.	36:14
	Give us this day, our daily bread,	36:16
	and forgive us our trespasses,	36:19
	as we forgive those who trespass against us,	36:21
	and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.	36:24
	For thine is the kingdom, the power,	36:29
	and the glory forever, amen.	36:31

Title:

Kenneth L. Nelson - "Matters that Matter" (August 9, 1998)

Description:

Sermon start time: 02:06. Sermon end time: 19:21.
Nelson calls on the congregation to live their lives by preparing for the second Coming of the son of God. He tells them not to worry about and dedicate their lives to worldly objectives (e.g. "the rat race") but instead prepare and dedicate one's life to the Lord. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)
Key quotation: "Luke's word is prepare. Prepare. Be vigilant. Keep watch, for the son of man is coming at an unexpected hour. This is a matter that matters."
